you know we know president obama, as they know no drama obama president, the severity of this and tragedy of this have not gone unexamined but there isn't the hysteria that we might have worried about. i think one thing you have to say, we know about the carpenter nails, for example, now that law enforcement and public officials have been keeping the public informed since this incident happened. they may not tell us every detail of what chronological picture they are put together, whether it's a domestic event, international event, event that combines domestic and international, with an individual or somebody in a network because they are looking at everything. eventually they will put the pieces together. it's going to take time. but they're keeping us informed and that's a very important part of the dialogue that we're having now. >> karen greenberg, tom fuentes, thanks to both of you. response helps with the recovery and investigation. that's what we're doing now at this minute. thanks for watching special coverage of the bombings here in boston continues after this break. >>> welcome
